It’s Friday, and after a healthful week of chicken and spinach salad with light dressing for dinner, I’m about to go OFF on some pizza tonight. So of course, I had to write some pizza trivia.
Pizza is, to me, the perfect food. In all those exercises where you can only have one food for the rest of time and not eat anything else, pizza is my go-to answer, without fail. (The only challenger even close is tacos.)
Here’s some pizza trivia about me: I’ve had frozen pizza, and I’ve had a slice in a Rome pizzeria. I’ve had $5 Hot and Ready pies from Little Caesars and stood in line for the famed Pizzeria Bianco. If I was a Muppet, I’d be Pizza Monster.
